API keys are not difficult to create. These are needed so that your bot can make purchases and sales. The most important thing when creating the API keys are the authorizations. All your bot needs to be able to do is buy and sell. In the picture below you can see which authorizations are required for the bot.
Enable Reading (The Bot can read your Balance and last Trades)
Enable Spot & Margin Trading (The Bot can Buy and Sell Cryptocurrencies)
API restrictions you need to enable for Futures and Margin Trading
Enable Margin (The Bot can trade with Margin)
Enable Futures (The Bot can trade Futures)
API restrictions you should never enable:
Enable Withdrawals
Permits Universal Transfer
These two options should never be used. If the API keys fall into the wrong hands, your coins can be sent to any other wallet without any problems and without you noticing! Only enable the options needed for trading and your coins are save.
If you want even more security then you can also use the option "restricted access to trusted IPs only". This way nobody can use your API keys if they don't also do this via your IP address. This adds additional security to your account.
Now you just have to save your two keys and enter them in the bot and off you go.
